RESISTANCE: A STORY OF DIGNITY AND SACRIFICE
ANONYMOUS The author is a French-Algerian dual citizen and former Master’s student at Queen’s University in the Department of Physics. Alongside two brothers, he was raised in France by his dad, an immigrant from Algeria, and his mom, who was born to French parents. The experience of being bi-racial has had a strong influence on his childhood, not only by bearing a foreign name but also by interacting within two worlds that sometimes have trouble understanding each other. He would often hear arguments he couldn’t understand then. He writes about his experience for the first time here, not only believing this story is worth being shared but also as a good exercise on his way to making peace with his dad and with himself. The PGEP publication seemed as an ideal stage for him to tell his story.
